This sounds really promising for Second Life’s future and hopefully we will see great things from Will Wright very soon. The reaction from the SL community seems to be happy about Will Wright joining Linden Lab.

Hopefully he’ll realize how few people would have played the Sims if it cost 300$ a month and 2000$ to buy the game. Cut tier by 1/3, simplify the police state TOS, and you’ll have lots of customers back. Tie the number of items permitted in marketplace to the size of your land, and owning land won’t be a sucker bet anymore, either.

Simple things to fix so much ruin. And the lab ignores them and pretends all is well.
